Feeling the time peel away at my life again.
  As memories combine, not sure where I've ever been.
  'Cause it's the D in Detroit which scars me to no end. I'll count to ten.
  When living this down makes so much sense.
    We collide - and onward we do fly
  We collide - and onward we do fly
  Onward - until we hit again.
    I kept your picture just behind the eye those weeks when our distance grew.
  Drove north where I found you waiting in Des Moines - thank God I'm not losing you
  And girl I hope you're not alone - and sleep through this weather
  And girl I hope you're whole again - back home we'll sleep better.
    We collide - and onward we do fly
